Experienced & reliable petsitter!

Pet care experience

I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits for extended stays. I am attentive, responsible, reliable, and active. I know animal behavior and can reliably walk dogs while keeping them calm and engaged for a happy experience for all. I have owned my own cats and dogs for most of my life. After losing my dear Kenny 3 years ago, I have enjoyed caring for the pets of others until I am ready to adopt again. :) I am able to stay in your home for housesitting and am also available for dog walks and cat car pop-ins. Please get in touch to tell me more about your needs!

We lucked out having Dennis take care of our pup and home over a weekend. Dennis spoiled us with extra time to get to know our dog and care routine. Dennis was kind, thoughtful and loving to our kiddo, was extremely communicative, provided lots of updates and doted on our pup with lots of love and attention. We look forward to having Dennis again!

Dennis was without a doubt the best dog sitter we have ever had. He came highly recommended from some friends of ours. It felt so reassuring to have someone so trustworthy, responsible, and skilled with our dog, Rosie. We appreciate his reliability and communication throughout his care for Rosie and he left our home in fantastic condition. We have had different dog sitters over the years and Dennis is in a league of his own! We hope we can work with him again in the future!

Six stars, if that would be possible! Dennis took excellent care of our greyhound and house. He was fast and clear in his communications, on time, and didn't mind accommodating our dogs little quirks. We left our house knowing that our girl would be in very good hands and returned to a happy dog!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
